As the first wrinkle relaxer that became available, Botox is among the most widely known wrinkle solutions. However, it’s been almost 35 years since the introduction of Botox, and that time has seen many advancements in medical aesthetics.Patients now have options for noninvasive wrinkle solutions, innovations in skincare…but most importantly, they have options to choose from additional wrinkle relaxers, like Dysport.
At Exhibit Medical Aesthetics, we offer Dysport near Mountain Lakes, NJ, so you have more control in your choices for fighting your wrinkles and maintaining your natural beauty.In this blog, we’ll explain the benefits of using Dysport for wrinkles and share some questions to ask to decide between Dysport and Botox.
1) How long do you want your results to last?
The first question we hear when talking with patients about Dysport vs. Botox is: “Well, which one lasts longer?”
Thankfully, both wrinkle relaxers create results that last about 3 to 4 months, so both Botox and Dysport balance lasting results with the flexibility to tailor your look as needed.
2) How quickly do you want your results to appear?
Both wrinkle relaxers create results within a few weeks of treatment. Botox results often appear within 5 to 10 days. However, Dysport results tend to appear about 2 days sooner—between 3 to 7 days. If you want a wrinkle solution that takes as quickly as possible, then we may recommend Dysport.
3) Is this your first time using a wrinkle relaxer?
The proteins included in the Dysport formula allow the product to diffuse, or spread, more widely throughout the muscle than Botox. This makes the product less potent, and it can create a “softer” look. It also works incredibly well for just-developing wrinkles.
Because of this aspect of the injection, we more often recommend Dysport for those just starting their wrinkle treatment journeys. Starting off with a wrinkle relaxer that has a stronger potency, like Botox, can lead you to develop medication tolerance more quickly.
